Free Sol Lewitt is a small factory that produces copies of a work by Sol Lewitt, Untitled (Wall Structure), 1972. SUPERFLEX has set-up a metal workshop inside the Van Abbemuseum in which exact replicas of the specific artwork are made and then ‘set free’, shared amongst the museum’s public, free of charge. Free Sol Lewitt is framed by the exhibition In-between Minimalisms curated by Christiane Berndes, Daniel McClean and SUPERFLEX at the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 2010.

‘In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.

The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.’

“If you have a prerecorded universe in which everything is already prerecorded, the only thing that is not prerecorded are the prerecordings themselves. So with my cut-ups I was attempting to tamper with the basic prerecordings and I think I have succeeded to some modest extent.” –William S. Burroughs
